Hi -- here is a tip for you. Before you get to doing your own version of Clean House, pick up the book "Organized from the Inside Out" -- because she gives good advice on how to plan what to do with a room before you attack it. That way, after you pull everything out, you will have a game plan on how things will go back in. If you don't want to read the book, I know that it is also available on cassette tape. I got my copy on amazon.com -- The big difference between Clean House or Clean Sweep and our lives is that they have a cleaning crew, a painting crew, a carpenter, a professional organizer and a designer all doing this in one day. We often are on our own, or have maybe one helper. So, having a game plan is really important. I plan to do something similar with my office, by the way, although I won't use a dumpster. But I am going to pull everything out -- and refer to my game plan/design before putting stuff back. It's really worth doing the mental work before the physical work, to keep yourself from getting overwhelmed. Please let us know how it goes, OK? -- Brenda
